Stage 6: Close out

One last step before you can move in!

The final stage is the facilitation of the ‘wrapping up’ or close out of the project, which includes preparation of the necessary documentation to effect the completion and handover of the project. All operable systems, such as solar, sewerage, rainwater harvesting and gas systems are also checked, and it is ensured that operating instruction manuals are in place to facilitate a smooth handover and operation of the all systems. After the contractor’s obligations with respect to the building contract are fulfilled, certificates relating to the contract completion are issued.

The client is also then provided with as-built drawings as well as the relevant technical and contractual undertakings and guarantees by the contractor and sub-contractor.
